WM. jGODWIN & SON Under the (Spelt of n Cnftee. Fort Worth Gazetto. There is a young woman in Bonner Springe, Kan, who believes she is under the Influence of a ourse. She is most estimable young woman, but some time ago, while suffering from a nervous attaok, she was accosted by n 'atnp who came to her door and beg- ed for something to eat. Ab the family had been so bothered with tramps, she answered him very short ly and told him to get uway from the place, or she would set the dogs on him. The man insisted that he was almost starving, and she slammed the door in his face. About an hour later a knook oame to tile door, and she went there only to And that the man had returned. This time he did not ask for food, but, as soon ns the door was opened, ho be gan calling down mniedictions oil the head of the girl. At first slio was in clined to get angry, and started to call for some one to have the man arrested, but ns his bitter words continued she becnme terribly frightened, nnd, at last, fainted, in which condition she was found by her mother, who had heard the fioise. The man had disap peared. During tile curse the trninp had called down a spirit of un rest on her, and told her that he always wiBhed her to feel hungry nnd like wandering, so that she would know yihat it was to be a poor tramp. The girl was ill for several days after the adventure, but is now in ap parent good henltii. She says that she feels that she is under a curse. She is restless, and spends her time walking up and down about the place, and com plains of never getting enough to ent. She eats very little, for her stomnch will not bear it, but she says she never feels as if she had eaten anything. Physicians who hnvo been called in to see her pronounce it a case of hys terical mania, and think that it will wear off in the course of time, if efforts are made to get the girl’s mind from the tramp. The parents are making arrangements to Bend her east to visit relatives, but the girl insists that she is perfectly well, except that she knows the tramp’s curse will follow her to her grave. Mo Cum for OrM A story is told of a woman in mourning and heavily veiled, foi whom room was made in a crowded railway car in a seat with another woman. The cariosity of the latter was aroused by the evidently fresh and deep black of her companion, which curiosity presently found voice. “Lost a friend, I take ttt" she be gan. A nod replied to her. “Near relative, I guesst” Another nod, followed by a brief silence. “Mother, perhaps!” A shake of the veiled head met this question. “Son or daughter,' maybet” A see ond shake, somewhat more vigorous, signified denial and rising impatience. “Husband, then!” confidently. A short nnd brought a complacent ex pression to the inquisitor’s face. For some minutes she was satisfied, then she hitched about uneasily in her seat. Tiier-. was more she felt ‘she ought to know. The Bilent figure felt it coming and waited. Finally it came: “Professor!” A short nod. “Life insurance!” Another short nod. with anuoyed emphasis. “Well, tl-.-n, what’reyou so veiled up for! He's all right and you too.” The widow sought the next car.— Her Point of View in New York Times. CongrcNMiueu of Feeble CourlctlouM. Washington rout. At home the average Congressman may be a very big man. He may think he is, nnd hisconBtituents may honestly think so, too. He came to Washington to legislate for the oountry, hut nine times out of ten he doesn’t do any thing of the kind. He is simply play ing the role of a sheep, and follows the bell-wether. The other day a motion came up to be voted upon by a rising vote. The Democrats were split on the matter themselves, and muoh de pended upon the Republicans. Two or three new members among the min ority half rose up, but glancing over to the big form of Tom Reed, which was immovable in his olmlr, they sank back also, and refrained from voting. To have explained why they didn’t vote would have been impossible, They knew that Reed, Burrows nnd Dlngley did not vote, and that was sufficient. It is so on the other side. When Catohings, or Holman, or Mills, or Springer vote their colleagues do likewise, and when they refrain the others refrain. All this seems odd to the spectator. Tlio Decline of PnlltenoM* One ivsnsnu for thedeciineof polite ness is found in the. fact that wealth how pushes itself everywhere, and cultured society suffers by the intro duction of persons Whose only claim to recognition is that they have made money. Making money does not necessarily make a man vulgar, but pushing does. Yet even this change is not altogether deplorable. It is this n» tionn! push that has filled the wilder ness with cities and turned desertB into cornfields. And in a progress almost revolutionary in its pace, there has been no time to keep the hat in the hand nnd to bo picturesque nnd elegant Most social evils are re trievable. unless women take part in them: hut in the gcuerid decline of politeness women are undeniably “In the transgression."

[arris & Collier. Timothy Mti'iiww. Farmer John in Rain's Horn. A lie once told is n link in a slave’s chain, the wearer of which has to keep on forging others to complete it. Committing one kind of sin is like marrying into a disreputable family; it makes a man akin to all manner of sin. If you want to enjoy the prayer- meeting, don’t take your political ar guments and your bad debts along. Some men remind you ora pile of cinders; the fires of their passions having burned the manhood out of them. If some people had all llie prosperi ty they crave, the load of humility nec essary to keep ’em from spoilin’ would break their backs. Tile religion you enjoyed forty years ago is nowhere, ns an evidence of your acceptanoe, compared with the grace given you the lust time the neighbor's chickens scratched up your early pens. Sin is like a bombshell that kills in front, bursts the gun in the rear, an 1 then buries itself, to he dug up by your grandchildren an’ explode an, wound them. A Hnppy liny r.t Time,. New York Sun. There is at least one boy in this city 'fvho is overjoyed by the news of every funeral the services of which are to be held in tile church to which lie is at tached. He is only nine years old, and is a very poor lad, tile child of needy parents. He sings in tile church choir, and whenever the choir is called upon to sing at a funeral he is paid the sum of $1 for his service in it, Yesterday evening he rtislie'd home to tell his mamma that there were to be two funerals in tile afternoon. He laughed beyond measure as he shout ed i “Good news, mam 1 two funerals!” He danced and was filled with bliss over the prospect. He had not sunj at a funeral for nearly a week, and Iiai been disconsolate. Ilis mother, too, was happy over the news, for she need ed money and her husband was out of work. When the lad returned home with $2 after the funerals, the house hold was cheered up and the family got a good dinner. A Tribute to the 01,1 Folk*. When somebody comes home after an absence of a generation in Aus tralia, he finds nobody so delightful os his grandmother and grandfather. The younger people have left off making twisted doughnuts and con demn pies as unhealthful, but grand mother assures them grimly that her “doughnut pot hasn't been empty nor pio missin from her table a single meal for fifty years, hi she hain’t afraid to set herself beside the wom an o’ nowadays nor the ten men and women that call her mother beside any children she knows of a-growin up.” She lias no need to be ashamed when she looks baok on her work or to fear for her reward in the future.

Flvo Pennies, A St. James avenue car was bowl ing through Chestnut street, crowd ed with people on their way to the opera house. Two ladies boarded the car. One, who patronizes the railway often and by chance with this one conductor, ia always unfor tunate in having no change hut five pennies. She related her tale of woo to her friend and proposed to swap her five pennies for a ten cent piece, which was ngroed upon. The con ductor, equal to the emergency, took the ten cent piece, butbeforo making change passed on to her friend, get ting the five pennies, and returned them to the indy who first had them, to the glee of the passengers, who could not help roaring with laugh ter, while the conductor had to ram his glove in his mouth to keep in. .The lady has decided to pay her own five pennies in the future.—Spring- field Homestead. Sarcastic Advice. It chanced that one of those in judicious persons, whose name is legion, on somo occasion pressed through the circle gathered around Mr. Browning, and incontinently asked him to explain there and then a difficult passage in one of his own poems—a passage where probably the masterful thoughts elbowed each other for precedence. “Upon my word, I don't know what it means,” said the poet, laughing, as he closed the volume thrust into his hands. “I advise you to ask the ’Browning so ciety’—they’ll tell you all about it.” —Temple Bar. Russian Women. It is said that the peasant women in Russia areas ignorant today os they were in the times of Peter tho Great, but girls of the upper and middle class receive a far better edu-, cation than the women in Austria and Germany. The natives of Little Russia are very beautiful, but at the same time simple and unaffected. In the northern women there is -move consciousness of tho power to charm and a better knowledge of the man ner in which they should exerciso such influence. Russians are less sentimental and more constant in their love than German and French women, approaching more closely to the practical English girl.—Detroit Free Press.
